HYDROCARBON- BU RN ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 399,770, dated March19, 1889.

Application filed November 30, 1888. Serial No. 292,271. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK B. MEYERs, of FortPlain in the county of Montgomery and State of New York,have invented anew and Improved Hydrocarbon-Burner, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact descrip tion.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improvedhydrocarbon-burner which I0 is simple and durable in construction, veryeffective in operation, and insures complete combustion.

The invention consists in certain parts and details and combinations ofthe same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed outin the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of the improvement on the lineara: of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is atransverse section of the same on the line y y of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4c isa similar view of part of the same on the line 5 .2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 isa sectional view of a furnace with my improved burner applied.

The improved hydrocarbon-bu rner A is pro- 0 Vided with a casing, B, tothe front end of which is secured a tube, 0, madeof suitable material,and carrying on its outer end abellshaped mouth, D. The tube 0 usuallypasses through the mouth of the furnace in such a manner that the wideend of the bell-shaped mouth D is flush with the inside of thefurnace-wall.

On the. casing B, opposite the inner end of the tube 0, is secured abushing, E, through which passes the oil-tube F, passing centrallythrough the casing B, and a short distance into the tube C, as isplainly shown in Fig. 1. The oil-pipe F can be moved inward or outwardin the casing B to any desired point, and then secured in place by aset-sorew, E, screwing in the bushing E. The pipe F is connected with asuitable source of oil-supply, located above the burner A. A valve, G,in, the pipe F serves to regulate the flow of 50 oil from the oilsupplyto the burner A.

On the inner closed end of the pipe F are secured anumber of rods, 11,which extend in the tube 0 to its front end, and are arranged radiallyaround the side of the pipe F. The outer ends of the rods Hpreferablytouch the inner surface of the tube 0. In the top of the innerend of the oil-pipe F is formed an opening, I, through which the oil isdischarged. The oil after passing through the opening I falls by its owngravity around the inner ends of the rods II, and is carried along thesame by the air, as herein after more fully described. Into the side ofthe casing B opens a pipe, J, connected with the air-supplyusually a fanor blower of any approved construction.

In the inside of the casing Bis held an airsupply regulator, K,comprising a cylindrical tube, K, cut out at the top and bottom at K asis plainly shown in Figs. 1 and The end toward the tube 0 is open, whilethe opposite end is closed by a disk, K which extends to the innersurface of the casing 13. A rod, L, is secured by its inner end to thesaid disk K and passes through the bushing E to the outside. The outerend of the rod L is secured to a collar, N, mounted to slide on theoil-pipe F, and adapted to be secured in place on the same by aset-screw, 0. When the latter is loosened, the collar N can be movedforward or backward on the pipe F, so that the regu 8o lator K is movedto the right or left, and the supply of air entering the tube J isincreased or diminished as the said disk K moves more or less over theinner opening of the pipe J.

The operation is as follows: Air is supplied through the tube J, andpasses into the casing 13 through the regulator K and into the tube 0.Oil is supplied by the pipe F, and passes through the opening I onto theinner ends of the rods H, so that the air passing over the ends of thesaid rods carries the oil along the rods II, thereby completelyatomizing the oil,

so that the air is charged with oil-vapor, which burns in thebell-shaped mouth D. It is understood that the heat from the furnace towhich the burner is applied also heats the bell-shaped mouth D, the tube0, and the rods H, so that the atomizing of the oil proceeds veryrapidly, and the resulting gas is highly heated before it is burned. Thequantity of air and oil to be mixed can be regulated by the valve G andthe regulator K.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A hydrocarbon-burner comprising a casing having an air-inlet pipe, aburner proper comprising a tube connected at its inner end with saidcasing and having a bell-shaped mouth, and an oil-pipe passing throughthe inner end of said easing into the said tube, and carrying at itsforward end a tubular series of rods extending to the juncture of thebell-shaped mouth with outer end of the tube, substantially as shown anddescribed.

2. A hydrocarbon-burner comprising a casing having an'air-inlet pipe, aburner proper comprising a tube connected at its inner end with saidcasing and having a bell-shaped mouth, an oil-pipe passing through thesaid easing into the rear end of said tube, and carrying a tubularseries of rods extending to the outer end of the tube at its juncturewith the flarin g mouth, and an air-supply regulator held in the saidcasing, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with a burner propercomprising a tube having a bell-shaped mouth, of an oil-pipe extendinginto the inner end of said tube, and provided with a tubular flaringseries of rods extending along the inside of the tube to its outer endat the juncture of said bell-shaped mouth and serving to carry the oilto be atomized, substantially as shown and described.

4:. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with the burner-tubeconnected with an air-supply, of an oil-pipe extending into the innerend of said burner-tube, and rods secured around the inner end of thesaid oilpipe, and extending forwardly at an incline along the said tubeto the inner end of the bellsl1aped mouth, substantially as shown anddescribed.

5. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with an oil-pipe closed atits. discharge end, and provided near the same, on the top, with anopening, of rods secured on the discharge end of the said oil-pipe andprojecting from the same, and serving to carry the oil dischargedthrough the said pipe-opening, substantially as shown and described.

6. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with a casing having anair-inlet pipe, of a burner proper comprising a tube secured at one endto the said casing and carrying at its other end a bell-shaped mouth, anoil-pipe passing through the inner end of said easing into the saidburner-tube, and rods secured in a tubular series to the said oil-pipe,and extending along the said burner-tube to the inner end of thebell-shaped mouth and receiving the oil from the said oil-pipe,substantially as shown and described.

7. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with a casing having anair-inlet pipe, of a burner proper comprising a tube secured at one endto the said casing and carrying at its other end a bell-shaped mouth, anoil-pipe passing through the said casing into the inner end of saidburner-tube, rods secured in a tubular flaring series to the saidoil-pipe, and extending along the said burner-tube to the inner end ofthe flaring mouth and receiving the oil from the said oilpipe, and anairregulator, K, held adjustably in the said casin g, and provided witha rod extending through the end of the casing and having anadjusting-collar on the oil-pipe, substantially as.

shown and described.
